Had a bad beat yesterday and got bumped out of 1st. It doesn't really matter the story, you've heard it before. Had the best hand, got called on big bets for no reason. Lost.
Got back up on that horse again and rode. Saw Gary Shook in a game, its always nice to run across him. He plays great, and he plays pretty honestly. Way to honestly for a piece of shit like me. It is always intense though, I've had to alter the way I play against him because he knows my default mode too well now. Actually, come to think of it, we played twice. He beat me early in the morning and then I beat him in the late morning.
Won a $60k spin and go a little bit ago which propelled me back into the #1 spot for the week. After a few more wins, most notable was just now against a lady that had me down pretty bad. I literally said to myself, "I'm going to have to make a move now or I'm done for.". I made a move on a A-3 hand or something like that and like a true shyster bastard, caught the ace on the river. That got me back up to a little over my beginning chip stack.
Play went on and I had gained confidence. Me gaining confidence in a match is the first step. I made a couple of sick, off kilter moves on the next few hands to get wins wins wins. There is something about a few losses in a row that will convince your opponent that they can no longer beat you. It wasn't long after that I started to notice her taking longer and longer to decide what the next move would be.
I was close I could feel it. She was going to break.
Unfortunately, her luck broke before she did and I cleaned her out on some sneaky backhanded middle pair or something. It was rather unceremonious. I do so like to crack the egg, it is still as entertaining as it was the first time.
I am #1 though right now and that feels pretty nice.
